If I Could Be - Part 3

Love and Hope

Love and Hope

are walking tight,

holding hands,

just tonight in the moonlight.

Freedom of joy comes with a price,

A price so high many can't bear,

Instead of hope, they got despair.

Hope and Faith are

looking tonight,

to find a soul pure and right;

give it a gift

a gift of love,

with insight to the light.

To show us the path

where love and hope

could be found tonight.

The River

Sitting in the coffee house by the Columbia River.

Watching the flowing river.

The river is fast,

The river is constant,

The river is wide,

The river is powerful.

Sitting in the coffee house.

Watching this amazing power.

The river gives life,

The river gives strength,

The river shows beauty.

The river takes lives.

Sitting in the coffee house drinking Moroccan tea.

Watching a container ship floating by.

The ship is big,

The ship is long,

The ship is rusty,

The ship is gone.

Sitting in the coffee house.

The sun is shining,

The traffic is flowing,

People come and go,

The mountains are standing still.

The river keeps flowing.

Since I wrote this poem the 3 cups coffee house had closed. It was a wonderful place to sit and have a cup of tea or coffee.

I am

I am here,

I am now,

I am love,

I am well.

I am here,

I am now,

I am healthy,

I sleep well.

I am here,

I am now,

I am love,

I am well.

All

I am you,

You are me,

We are one.

The world is open.

The then is now.

Life is all.

Joy is here.

Smiles will follow,

Free the mind.

I am you,

You are me,

We are one.

Light

You feel like you're floating,

In infinite space.

You're happy,

Your soul shines.

The stars look at you with a smile.

Everything radiates,

Life laughs,

You're one of them.

Who is so happy.

The light's is shining,

From within,

It shines with a glow.

It's all yours

The angel's whisper.

What you give

Is what you get.

Loving and caring for each other, caring for animals and our environment is essential for our well-being.

Letter to you:

It is a lovely day today, mixed with rain and sunshine. The wind is blowing like there is no tomorrow. The best part of my day is when I can talk to you, hear your voice, and discuss silly little things and serious bigger things with you. When I talk to you I just know that no matter what will happen, things will just be all right, they will just fall into place and I have nothing to worry about. Sure there are things to do that come up in our everyday life, those things just seem to be a background noise to deal with, and will go away soon. I love to hear you laugh and I love how you can make me laugh. Your laughter is contagious. You are my miracle. I am very happy to have found you to have the ability to love you unconditionally without any hesitation. It is a very empowering and amazing feeling to feel so close to you like we are one even if apart there is a strong tie holding us together. Counting the days. I love it. The more I see you and the more time I spend with you the more I want to see you and be with you.
